LONDON, March 31.-A letter has
been received from Henry NJ. Stanley,
dated Capetown, March 9. He ex-
presses bewilderment at the constant
evidences he gees OF the British yield
ing and shrinking in Africa, before the
noise, buster and mock heroism in
the west and north. He says France
and Portugal have strobe with auda-
cious and frantic haste to exclude Brit
ish trade. Now 1 come to Zanzibar,
and there I find the British feet has
given way to the Germans, or that the
German traders outnumbered the
British. There is a relentless agrees
siveness about the Germans that is
ominous. Their manner is naughty
and overbearing, and carries an air
of ''you must" The natives look on
with wonder, while the British affect
a superb Indifference. / found Tippoo
lib, the uncrowned King, in the re-
gion between Stanley Falls and Tan
ganyika Lake, commanding thous-
ands of fighting Arabs. He was
equally ready to fight or be employ
ed. l chose the latter, not with the
view of his helping me reach Emin
Bey, but to assist in bringing away
the Emin's store OF ivory, to the
value of $4,000 pounds. In the pres
ence of the British Consul | on
tracted with Tppoo lib to supply
me with 900 carriers. | also, after
receiving consent from King Leopold,
appointed Tippoo Governor Of Stanley
Falls, at a regular salary. He guar
antees to defend the station against
the Arabs, and defeat and capture
all persons raiding for slaves, and to
abstain from engaging in the slave
traffic himself below Stanley Falls.
A European officer will be appointed
a resident at Stanley Falls, to insure
adherence to the contract, and stop
Tippoo Tbs salary upon any breach
of the engagement. So far there has
been no hitch in the expedition.
Everybody shows the utmost sympa-
thy, and our difficulties have been
smothered by prevailing good feeling.
/ have sent a letter to Emin Bey,
giving him the probable date of our
arrival. Tippoo lib has ordered his
people to concentrate at Stanley
Falls, in readiness for the march.

death if they do not comply with the
